Brief notes from my trip to Inner Mongolia:

1. Reread The Romance of Tristan.
2. Glad I can watch baseball on my i-Phone. I'm catching at least 2 games a day.
3. Read seriously Jacob Saenz's "Evolution of My Block". Reminded me much of growing up in Detroit.
4. Read seriously Vachel Lindsay, "The Spider and the Ghost of the Fly".
5. Han Shan, the restaurant with the best Mongolian milk tea and beef jerky.
